Hello! I live in the United States with my wife and three sons, cat, dog, jumping spiders and several mantises. My favorite is Kaspira, a beautiful green ghost mantis with a wonderful personality. She likes to go on walks on my shoulder, or hang out on the underside of a sunny leaf or flower in the front garden. I'm generally very busy with a lot of people to take care of, so postal friendships are a bright spot in my day. I like history, knitting, reading, old music, and trying new things as they catch my interest. I spend a lot of time keeping our old car running and repairing our old house.
